A glim pse at the m arket
Velddrif
The real estate m arket in Velddrif continues to reflect steady, affordable coastal dem and,driven largely by m ature and long-term residents.The suburb is predom inantly m ade up of freehold properties,with m ore than 83%of stock falling into this category and only a very sm all sectional title presence.
This low-density profile supports stable growth without the volatility seen in m ore rapidly developing coastal towns.Over the past 12 m onths (Nov 2024 ? Oct 2025),Velddrif recorded 79 property transfers with a total value of R115.9 m illion,reflecting an average sale price of approxim ately R147 m illion
Activity in the m ost recent quarter shows 23 sales at an average price of R1.54 m illion,suggesting consistent dem and and slightly rising transaction values Most sales fall within the R800 000 to R3 m illion range,confirm ing Velddrif?s position as a m ore accessible West Coast m arket com pared to higher-priced neighbouring towns.

Velddrif
Ownership trends show that 45%of current hom eowners have held their properties for m ore than 11years,indicating a stable, established com m unity.However,nearly half of recent sellers owned their hom es for less than five years,pointing to an increasing share of new entrants and lifestyle buyers m oving through the m arket.Buyer age profiles further highlight the area?s appeal to older and m iddle-aged purchasers.

Freehold hom es dom inate transaction volum es,particularly between R800 000 and R3 m illion,while sectional title activity rem ains m inim al due to lim ited supply.Land sales also reflect ongoing,though m oderate,developm ent interest
With a m edian valuation of R1.45 m illion,Velddrif sits firm ly within the m id-m arket segm ent nationally,offering relative affordability while still benefiting from the broader Western Cape sem igration trend.
A glim pse at the m arket
Velddrif
Overall,Velddrif presents a stable,value-driven coastal m arket with consistent transaction activity and gradual price growth.Its com bination of affordability,steady long-term ownership and growing lifestyle dem and positions it as an attractive option for buyers seeking a quieter West Coast environm ent without the price prem ium s of surrounding coastal hubs.
